(a) Anaemia This is the most common disorder of the blood, which is caused due to decrease in the number of RBC than the normal amount and also due to less quantity of haemoglobin than the normal value in blood. This is the most common disorder of the blood.
(b) Angina Pectoris When there is blockage in coronary artery, thus insufficient supply of blood reaches to heart muscles. That results in chest pain, fear, anxiety, pale skin, profuse sweating and vomiting. The pain usually starts in the centre of the chest spreads down to the left arm which last for only few second.
(c) Atherosclerosis It refers the deposition of cholesterol or fatty substance in the inner lining of arteries called atherosclerotic plaque. Sometimes arteries get completely blocked, this may result in stroke of heart attack.
(d) Hypertension It is sometimes also known as arterial hypertension. The blood pressure in the arteries gets elevated. It could be primary or secondary hypertension which are caused by various conditions which affect kidneys, arteries heart or endocrine system.
(e) Heart Failure It is the state of heart, causes in when heart does not pump blood effectively enough to meet the requirement of the body.
(f) Erythroblastosis foetalis It is a haemolytic disease causes in new borns, which is an allo-immune condition that develops in foetus, when igG molecules produced by mother pass through placenta and attack RBC. It causes reticulocytosis and anaemia. It develops due to $\mathrm{Rh}$ incompatibility between the couples.
In a man with $\mathrm{RH}^{+}$blood and women with $\mathrm{Rh}^{-}$blood, the second pregnancy foetus may have this problem due to $\operatorname{lgG}$ accumulation in women during first child development and delivery.
